The Role of a Pastor
His primary goal, our salvation
Our atonement, kept His Word
Yet first trained, His disciples
To spread His Gospel, to the world.
Our Labor-Never in Vain
Yes, keep praying and asking
For God’s kingdom to come
Despite men’s hardened hearts
Know His will, shall be done!
Psalm 37:1-12. Commit Your Way to the LORD
Rest in Him, and wait patiently
Fret not o’er those who prosper
Those working wicked ways
Whose works are improper.
His Rest and Peace
Our life’s full of troubles
Tribulations, each day
Yet instead of our resting
We keep struggling, our way.
God Promises Us Victory
Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.
We Are Never Alone
As God’s precious own
We always, are blessed
We are never alone
Amidst trials, that test.
Resist, When Tempted
Keep God’s Word, in our heart
Cry out to God, and resist
Resolve, I will obey
The Holy Spirit, will assist.
Psalm 119: 65-72 Tet-ט
You’ve dealt well, with Your servant
LORD, in accord with Your Word
Teach me good judgment
And knowledge, conferred.
Psalm 119: 57-64 Chet-ח
So, teach me Your statutes
Your ordinances, to obey
Your decrees and Your laws
May I hearken, and not stray.
Psalm 119: 49-56. Zayin-ז
For the wicked, that forsake
Your laws, O LORD
Your statutes, have been my songs
In my dwelling place, am restored.
